    This document discusses diagnosing distortion in human intelligence (HUMINT) source reporting by examining lessons from parallel fields like anthropology and journalism. It proposes separating the reliability of intelligence sources from the reliability of source reporting, which can be distorted at four stages: when intelligence is provided by the source, gathered by the collector, analyzed by analysts, and edited by editors. Distortion can occur unintentionally due to errors or intentionally through deception. The document recommends training, feedback, cross-examination of collectors, and more writing on operational theory and human surveillance to increase reliability awareness and reduce distortion in HUMINT reporting.

    Original Description:

    A Powerpoint presentation to accompany my thesis on source reporting reliability in intelligence.
